<h2>Sites tool: Overview</h2>
<h3>What it does</h3>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> To use this tool, you must have
administrator rights. </p>

<p>With the Sites tool, system administrators can create new
worksites, and modify and remove existing ones. Users with "admin"
rights, will see the Sites tool in the My Workspace menubar.</p>

<p>When creating or editing a site, the administrator can select which
tools will appear in the main screen of the site's Home page. The
administrator can also rename the Home page, and create additional
Home pages for the site.</p>


<h3>Key concepts</h3>

<p><strong>Assigning roles:</strong> The Sites tool allows the
administrator to specify which role to assign by default to people who
join the site. The site owner can later change a participant's role
with the Site Info tool.</p>

<p><strong>Adding tools:</strong> When an administrator adds tools to
a particular Home page, those tools appear in the main screen, not the
menubar. 

</p><h3>Things to consider</h3>

<ul><li>When the application is first installed, the admin is the only
pre-installed account, and is able to create worksites.
<br /><br />
</li><li>The My Workspace template site is the site with the
siteID <code>!user</code>. Admins can edit
this site to include or exclude whatever tools they wish to display in
their users' My Workspaces. All users are assigned the broadest role
in their respective My Workspaces, which gives them edit control over
that section.</li></ul>
